EV Van Challenge: Ford v Fiat PT3 Weight Performance | Fifth Gear 

at most i'll do 80 miles in a typical day And the last diesel transit i had spent more time broken then working So if this is more reliable then the diesel then it would be perfect for me

@@thinfourth I’m a plumbing and heating engineer my van is constantly full mostly over the max pay load with all the racks and van vault inside, another concern is battery degradation after 2 years the max charge will start going down look at some older Nissan leaf’s. My dad lives in Scotland and I travel up quite frequently to do some jobs and help move stuff the trip is about 400 miles. I spoke to a British Gas engineer the other week and he said that they are switching to EVs for their fleet apparently they are constantly missing job arrival times because of the range/charging times. I honestly love the idea of an electric van instant torque and quiet but at the moment the manufacturers are talking the piss with the battery pack size and price of the vehicle the tech is old enough now for it to be cheaper than £50,000 +

@@buckleyjteams I never considered you are right it's totally unsuited to what you need So I will NEVER buy one and I want them banned

@@thinfourth so you never read the previous reply so I’ll shorten it: van full a lot, longevity of the vehicle concerning, I like EVs I just want van EVs to be better for the price

@@buckleyjteamsjust traded in our 2017 leaf, the bug eyed ones; battery health still on 97%, 59500 miles on the odometer.

hehe i agree, numpties can keep their EV's, I'll wait for Hydrogen hybrids (the sensible, logical and smart choice!) that will solves all the problems i mentioned in the comments!

@@idonotcomplyrevolution If they’re so sensible, where are they?

The average van driver does less than 100 miles a day....

@@meta0269 but that's irrelevant. You choose the van to do the job you need it to do. If you only do 100miles/day then fine, just as I'd buy an EV car for around town. But when you are travelling between towns you quickly knock up 100++ miles in a day. The range also has to offset the additional cost of the E-van by a long way to justify the purchase. Lot's to consider before you'd put your cash down.

@@meta0269 yeh, let's just make vans for the average delivery driver. Pointless..

@@shiftinggears9896 never mentioned delivery

@@glennalderton1313 and then they will be a failure because for the average driver the price of a long range battery will be too much.

These are normal vans.

@@Simon-dm8zv Not normal to me . electric vans are rare around here .

Actions are louder than words 😂😂

Mine is ok 👍
